Using Value-Based Payments to Drive Population Health

Moving to paying for value instead of volume is more easily said than done. In some sectors, a retrenchment to fee-for-service is on the rise. But, among more visionary leaders and organizations, progress is being made in meaningful ways. This “deep dive” session will offer insights, experience and learnings into the strategies that have led to success – and those which have led to setbacks – providing attendees something of a roadmap to moving to a model of value based care.
